Technical Data Sheet
Stone Surfacing for Exterior Applications
Descripton
FlowStone is a thermal set 2 part UV stable polyurethane
resin blended with a design mix of aggregates (typically
8mm-10mm) to create a contnuous fexible stone surfacing
system.
Uses
FlowStone is ideal for urban tree pits, pedestrians and
light vehicular use on footpaths, courtyards and anywhere
permeability is required.
Suitable Surfaces
FlowStone is designed to overlay well compacted free
draining soils and aggregates, as well as on concrete or
asphalt substrates. It is also available as a fully permeable
surface over a crushed rock base.
Refer to Overlay of Asphalt and Concrete Specifcaton
Advice Sheets or Permeable Pavement Specifcaton Advice
Sheets for more detail.
Safety
For detailed informaton refer to the Material Safety Data
Sheet
Wearing of gloves, goggles, overalls and safety footwear is
highly recommended.
Surface Preparaton
All areas to be treated shall be well constructed layers of
free draining material to local design specifcatons and
performance requirements.
All new concrete substrates must be subjected to a
minimum curing period of 28 days. All concrete substrates
must be primed with Rockseal Concrete Primer.
Mixing
A cement mixer is required to blend the bagged aggregate.
The part A and B resin is then mixed in a separate mixing
vessel using an electric drill and paddle.
Resin mix is then added to the cement mixer and
combined with the aggregate. Once mixed it is dispensed
to a wheelbarrow and taken to the work site ready for
trowelling.
Storage
All resins and aggregates must be stored in a clean and dry
environment. Refer to storage instructons and use by date
on kit for details.
Applicaton
FlowStone is hand trowel applied by trained and
accredited applicators. Dispense mixed material. An
asphalt rake, lute or gauge rake may be used to assist
an even spread of material. Material should be trowel
compacted to an even consistency and level.
The trowel should be regularly wiped clean to avoid resin
build up and to achieve best results. At this stage dust with
glass for ant-slip fnishes. Repeat process to completon.
Do not walk on surface untl completely set and tack free.
Do not trafc surface with vehicles for 3 days.
Clean Up
White spirits is used for clean up.
